Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Royal palace, above the court hall

“Your Highness, although this public transportation proposal is good, the investment is also very high!”

“Nowadays, Xianyang City and its surrounding areas have a population of over one million. If we want to meet the travel needs of the people in Xianyang City, even investing in tens of thousands of manned vehicles may not be enough.”

“Although the price of a single car is not high, when the quantity is large, it is a big sum.~”

“And what’s really expensive is the salary of the people who carry passengers. According to today’s court project calculations, one person costs at least one and a half to two yuan a day, which is much more expensive than a car.”

“It’s okay for a short distance, but is it too low to travel all over Xianyang City for one money?”

“Today’s Xianyang City, a circle around it, is hundreds of miles away!”

Nei Shiteng held a thick stack of account books and said bravely.

The Department of Revenue naturally welcomed the improvement of transportation in Xianyang City.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, the Department of Revenue found out depressedly that if it were done according to Fusu At the price set, this public transportation project will probably lose money.

And this is calculated based on the flow of people in Xianyang City. If it is in other counties and cities, it will probably lose even more.

“Public transportation projects are not originally designed to make profits, and some losses are normal.”

“The real income is the business growth that comes with the increase in passenger flow, especially income from visiting relatives and friends and tourism.”

“These days, people in Daqin are starting to have a little extra money on hand. Since they have spent all their money on transportation when going out, they will definitely not be empty-handed. And whether it is food or shopping, the court has taxes.”

“Moreover, there is no need to fully cover public transportation from the beginning. Dozens of lines with the largest flow of people can be opened first to disperse traffic pressure and facilitate people’s needs.”

“Public transportation, despite the low price per trip, but as long as the seats are full and the number of round trips is large, the income is not small. It is difficult to make a profit, but it can still be done to maintain capital or reduce losses.”

“As for the areas that are not currently covered by public transportation, people can purchase passenger bicycles from the private sector as a supplement, which will give them an additional income channel.”

“Public transportation, at this time, can also serve as a price guide.”

Fusu said with a smile.

Don’t underestimate this little bicycle.

Even in the later generations before Fusu traveled, in some small counties, there were not many bus trips. From the station to the surrounding area, the last few kilometers were very long. It is inconvenient, and there are many motorcycles.

When Fusu was a child, he used a three-wheeled motorcycle similar to Shifeng to go from the village to the town. There were two long benches in the back of the car, which could easily carry more than ten people..

After the ban on motorcycles, short-distance transportation is still dominated by electric vehicles and human-powered tricycles.

Therefore, public transportation based on bicycles is completely achievable in Daqin.

Although the speed is a bit slow, it is still very important to the people of Daqin. , it is already much faster than walking, and the comfort is much better than that of a bumpy horse-drawn carriage.

For bus companies, bicycles are much cheaper than horse-drawn carriages, and they are extremely trouble-free to maintain.

Although public transportation still inevitably requires The loss, but in exchange for business growth again, is completely acceptable.

“In this case, I have no objection.”

Neishiteng thought about it in his mind and agreed with Fusu’s point of view.

Now Daqin’s business development has reached a bottleneck stage. If it wants to grow explosively again, it must improve its infrastructure.

And infrastructure construction But it’s not just about building roads and opening canals, transportation is also an important part.

Especially in areas such as Xianyang City where the curfew has been extended, the shopping mall area is actually more lively after dark, but the difficulty of returning has made many residents People in relatively remote areas are still reluctant to go out.

And if there are cheap and easy-to-use means of transportation, the flow of people and transactions in the business district can skyrocket again, and the tax revenue of the court will naturally rise again.

This needs to be eaten Nestern quickly figured out the principle of digging a well for water first.

“The other thing is a great thing!”

Chen Ping said with a smile on his face:”Ever since the news of the bicycle production workshop raising funds came out, all the major chambers of commerce in Daqin went crazy. The big businessmen who came to visit almost trampled the threshold of the household department.!” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“In just three days, investment intentions of at least 10 million yuan were received, and the bicycle patent licensing fee was raised to more than 10 million yuan!”

0 Request for flowers.

There was a sound of inhalation in the court.

Although all the officials knew that Daqin was very rich now, it was definitely not an exaggeration to describe the country as rich and the people strong.

But a small bicycle, within three days , the investment amount of 10 million yuan still amazed many people.[]

The licensing fee of 10 million yuan stunned many officials with Confucian origins.

How much does it cost to just sell a license for a technology?

It made them all regret not studying engineering in the first place.

No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince has been advocating the vigorous development of science and engineering. This contribution to the economy is really not comparable to that of Confucius and Mencius.

“Patent authorization, it seems that the businessmen of Daqin are making progress not too slowly!”

“Since they have all given high prices, we cannot refuse others’ sincerity. We can provide technology, but the same, we are only allowed to build factories within Daqin, and we are not allowed to leak the technology to foreign lands!”

“According to this prince’s opinion, out of the 10 million, 500,000 can be used as a bonus for the bicycle research and development team of the Engineering Academy.”

“Newspapers and other media can also publicize this matter to guide the people of Daqin to invest in scientific research and increase the motivation of Daqin craftsmen to develop new machinery.”

“Counties and counties can also once again carry out competitions such as inventions and creations. As long as they can actually contribute to the Qin Dynasty, the government can directly take the lead to help link businessmen into actual production and transform them into actual productivity!”

Fusu said with a slight smile.

The people of Qin are not incapable of creativity.

Otherwise, great masters like Gongshuban and Mozi would not have appeared.

It’s just that the profits from inventions and creations were too little before, so the people’s focus was not on this. But now, with the efforts of Daqin, Daqin has begun to move forward towards becoming a powerhouse in science and engineering, and this sky-high patent fee can be used as a booster to make Daqin’s technological path forward again. A big step.

And scientific and technological development is the foundation of industrialization.
